How Limitations Can Actually Help Us

Strange as it may sound our limitations are our liberations—meaning, that when we must work against the constraints that are placed upon us, we become stronger, develop more flexibility, become more creative and inventive and ultimately freer because we have an increased capacity, competency and skill to deal with life as we experience it. It is a paradox, but it is true, nonetheless.

Our limitations are the channels of our power. Our limitations give us a powerful gift—focus.  If you focus a ray of light with enough intensity, it becomes a lazar beam.  If you focus water to a large enough degree, it can be use to cut through solid metal.  Our limitations can be the greatest source of our creativity—in fact, they may be what drive it.
